The Artist/Album: Prefuse 73, The Only She Chapters (Warp, April 26th)
The Details: After years of side project rumblings and rambling beat-head records, Guillermo Scott Herren has finally taken a welcome detour with a weightless collection of cuts that has more in common with neo-classical compositions than manic MPC workouts.
“This record is a weird one for me,” Herren admitted in a press release. “The process features all women vocalists and voices and the music was recorded very differently from how I normally work. This can be seen as a departure from other albums but it’s not a departure intended to leave people feeling alienated or baffled. It’s just a different way to interpret my music and it’s an open invitation for anyone that wants to listen.â€
Guests include Zola Jesus, Shara Worden of My Brightest Diamond, and the late Trish Keenan of Broadcast. Check out the full breakdown below, and an album sampler at Warp’s site…
